Chu Lu woke up from his sleep and sat up suddenly.
The gloomy environment made him dazed for a while, and the flickering light and shadow effects on the screen stunned him again.
The system exited the game at the speed of light and restored the interface, pretending that it was not playing games on the host's work computer while he was resting, and quickly showed concern and care to the host.
Chu Lu had no objection to the system using his optical computer. He just felt a little strange. The system could obviously access the game on its own, so why did it need to use the optical computer for another round? It was just like wearing a pair of oven gloves while doing an experiment and not feeling uncomfortable.
System: Mainly, just to create an atmosphere.
In any case, in the rare caring and concern from the system master without using any swear words, Chu Lu pressed his shoulders, which were a little stiff from lying down for a long time, and explained: [Nothing, I dreamed about something that happened the last time I came to this world.]
The system immediately adjusted the files according to the database. Since this task was a novice adapting to the world, there were almost no setbacks. The only thing worth dreaming about for the host was that node.
It hurriedly comforted, "Although there was an accident before we finally left, the host successfully deceived us... Ah, bah, he solved the problem tactfully. Didn't the world consciousness say anything? The host even got an A-level evaluation in the end... This ability to deal with crises is rare among newcomers, even among veterans who have already had several missions. You are worthy of being my host! Balabalaba..."
It has been a long time since the system has routinely flattered him like this. Chu Lu pressed his forehead a little unaccustomed to it, subconsciously blocking out the series of blah blah blah that didn't even require him to breathe. He let out a breath.
Yes, it’s over…
God knows how surprised he was when he discovered that there was an explosive device installed on the cabin.
According to the plot, everyone should have survived, except Master Luther. But if the situation continued, the entire starship would have been destroyed. If they were lucky enough, Master Luther might have survived.
The situation at that time was completely beyond Chu Lu's expectations.
The world assigned to novices is generally the type with a more active world consciousness. The world consciousness will actively maintain the plot along the original destiny line. The role of the staff is to honestly play the role of a tool and fill in the impact caused by the missing characters in the story line.
But at that time, perhaps the world consciousness took a nap.
In short, Chu Lu didn't want to bet at all whether there was some malfunction in the explosive device, which led to the ending in the fate line. He didn't like to pin his hopes on such an illusory and low-probability event.
He put the original series of plans to provoke the pirates behind his mind.
——You have to save people first.
Chu Lu couldn't help but feel fortunate that he did not choose to jump into the lifeboat for the sake of safety (after all, there was still a chance of survival).
Otherwise, when he sees the device again in the escape pod, he will probably be really helpless.
Saving lives is easy.
But, saving people without breaking your character...
…
…………
Chu Lu swore that his acting skills were at their peak at that time.
——The Sastan in this world owes him a crystal gold trophy!
On the other side, the adult and the child are still immersed in the development of the plot.
This sudden energy circuit failure was so severe that no one knew what was going on except Master Luther who took action.
The passengers thought it was the work of space pirates. The screams of fear in the cabin almost echoed through the walls of the ship. In the darkness, people anxiously sought comfort from their companions.
The pirates in the cockpit were not much better off than them. While the man with the prosthetic eye was stalling for time with the passengers in the cabin, the red-haired man who had been trying to crack the driving system at the console saw the screen in front of him go black. When he opened it again, warnings popped up everywhere. What's worse, the invasion process that he had almost finished just now was wasted after this restart.
The red-haired man slammed the console hard, cursed fiercely in the slang of an unknown galaxy, raised his hand and grabbed the captain next to him, whose forehead was still bleeding, took out his light blade and pointed it at his neck, saying fiercely: "You did it?!"
Whether in appearance or personality, this man doesn't look like a technician at all.
The captain, whose face had already turned pale, shook his head in fear, and made some sounds like breathing from his throat. From the shape of his mouth, it could be judged that he was trying his best to make the syllable of "no", but he was unable to make a sound due to extreme fear.
The man with the prosthetic eye also saw the dispute here. He realized that the red-haired man was really murderous in his excitement. He frowned and said in a deep voice, "Lomie."
The red-haired man named Lomiere finally calmed down a little. The fight for control of the starship requires the captain's iris authority in many aspects, which is why the captain is still alive.
You can't kill it until it's completely cracked.
Lomier loosened his grip and pushed the captain, who was almost losing his mind with fear, back to his seat. He then burned his face with the light blade and warned him again, "You'd better not do anything small." Then he turned around and started his work again, cursing.
But at this moment, the starship suddenly tilted at an angle.
The energy supply system was destroyed, and the temporary automatically switched backup energy was almost all used to maintain the basic operation of the starship. Those secondary systems became less flexible, and the gravity balance device was one of them.
The sudden tilt caused the simulated gravity center in the starship to shake. Unprepared, even the pirates in the cockpit were in trouble, not to mention the captain who was tied up and had no power to resist.
I know that I can’t let anyone fall to death at this time.
Lomière, who was closest, cursed and could only loosen the restraints on his body and follow the captain's direction.
It was at this time that [Master Luther] entered the cockpit.
The semi-conscious captain "happened" to fall in the passage, and the blond boy who was thrown out stumbled and rolled to the side of the operating table due to the sudden and violent reversal and shaking of the starship. His forehead hit the mental power interface on the table hard, and blood flowed down his temples. Half of his blue eyes seemed to be dyed red by the blood.
No one knew what the boy did when the aisle was dark. Everything that happened afterwards, whether it was the captain accidentally falling into the aisle or the boy rolling onto the operating table, seemed to be just an "accident."
In fact, until now, Richard is not sure whether this is a "coincidence" or a "calculation".
It would be horrible if all this was calculated.
But if it was just a coincidence, it would be too lucky.
It actually happened very quickly.
In the movie, the flow of time was slowed down for the sake of exaggerated filming effects, but in fact, before the system confirmation notification even came on, the console was destroyed by the "inaccurate" energy gun impact of "Master Luther".
This kind of firearm used by people with only a little training for self-defense has limited energy, but if the Noravite is forcibly used as an energy source, it is a different matter.
In fact, if it weren't for what the boy had just done in the passage, based on the energy he had collected, this attack could even destroy the entire cockpit.
He never thought about surviving from the beginning.
He had originally planned to die together.
The gun body exploded because it could not withstand the overload of energy, and the scorching temperature caused burn marks to appear on the boy's already scarred fingers.
Between life and death, Richard didn't care about those details.
But perhaps due to the influence of Wei Ji's words just now, he seemed to have the illusion that the young man looked down at his hands.
Richard couldn't help but recall whether the other party did this in the original recorded video.
However, there is no point in thinking about these things now.
…
…………
Even though this "big production" was perfect in every aspect and all the fighting scenes had special training instructions, in Richard's eyes, it was still too rigid and stereotyped to leave traces.
But in reality, Master Luther was in a much more miserable state than this.
Richard himself didn't dare to say whether he could gain any advantage by fighting against six pirates without being fully armed.
But even in that situation, the boy still led the attack in a desperate manner, forcibly opened the mechanical lock of the escape pod with external force, and somehow he burst out with strength to pull the red-haired man into the pod together.
Because it was an accidental detachment and there was no buffer device, the life capsule dragged out a comet-like tail at the end, which was the debris that kept falling off the surface of the capsule under the strong energy radiation.
The cabin fell into the depths of the starry sea at an extremely fast speed.
It was like a silent yet shocking romantic funeral in the vast universe.
…
…………
As for how the starship landed smoothly and was surrounded by armed men, how the remaining five members of the Skyeto Pirates were arrested, and how the rescued passengers burst into great joy after being at a loss...
The two people who were watching the movie didn't care much.
Wei Ji looked at all this with empty eyes and pursed his lips tightly.
He looked at those people who were cheering and jumping for joy, those who were crying and laughing, and expressing their gratitude to God and the gods...
But the person who should be most grateful has fallen alone into the depths of the universe.
The boy couldn't help showing some negative emotions in his eyes, and he even had some resentment in his heart -
Why not them...
Why weren't these people the ones who fell?
